Fujifilm has announced the X-E3, featuring 24 megapixels and 4K video recording. This is an update to the X-E2S launched previously. The X-E3 has several features trickled down from the flagship X-T2, including a 325-point AF system. The subject tracking algorithms has also been improved over the X-E2S, allowing the X-E3 to capture subjects half the size or moving twice as fast as before.

The X-E3 is the first X-series camera to offer Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless communication. This allows photographers to pair the camera with a smartphone / tablet for easy transfer of pictures via the free Camera Remote application. The 3″ touch screen has a resolution of 1.04M dots, and the ability to select a focus area by tapping on it. There’s also intuitive smartphone-like gestures like double-tap to zoom, swiping between images, pinch to zoom etc. You can also create custom functions by swiping left, right, up, or down. Unfortunately, Fujifilm has removed the built-in flash on the X-E3, but a EF-X8 accessory flash is included in the box.

The Fujifilm X-E3 will be available in September for US$900 for the body alone, US$1300 with the XF 18-55mm kit lens, or US$1150 with the 35mm f/2R WR.
